>> This has been Ed Yardeni's and Douglass Carmichael's argument for governmental openness since sometime last year: Inform the public now, while Y2K is in the distant future, and there will be a minimum of panic. I argued this very position at the first meeting of the White House Y2K Council's IT Sector Working Group, and even before that, when the Admin was contemplating how and when the Prez would say something publicly re Y2K. I get the impression, unfortunately, that the preferred modus operandi is to have FEMA schedule coordination planning sessions around the country with local and regional emergency planning bodies, and hope that the public will get the hint. Of course, if cheeky has his way, the press will turn its collective head and look the other way... Ken
